Definitions
- the invention relates to heat transfer heat transfer fluids, especially colored heat transfer fluids for use in fuel cell assemblies and more particularly to colored heat transfer fluids having very low conductivity for use in fuel cell assemblies.
- Heat transfer systems in thermal communication with a power source have been utilized to regulate heat generated during the operation of the power source.
- automotive vehicles have employed heat transfer fluids and cooling systems that transfer and dissipate heat generated as a by-product of gasoline powered internal combustion engines.

- alternative power sources include, but are not limited to, batteries, fuel cells, solar photovoltaic cell, and internal combustion engines powered by the condensation of steam, natural gas, diesel, hydrogen, and/or the like. Such alternative power sources may be used alone or in combinations thereof, such as those employed in hybrid vehicles.
- Fuel cells are a particularly attractive alternative power source because their clean and efficient operation. Fuel cells have been proposed for use in numerous applications.
- fuel cells replace the internal combustion engines currently used in automobiles.

- the normal operating temperature of a PEM fuel cell assembly is controlled so that it remains within a range of from 60° C. to 95° C. Because of the exothermic nature of the electrochemical reactions, it is desirable to use a heat transfer fluid or heat transfer fluid to keep the electrode assembly at an operating temperature that is within the desired operating temperature range.
